Different stretching methods do not affect maximal force and neuromuscular response in young soccer players

The aim of the present study was to compare the acute effects of different stretching methods on maximal force and neuromuscular responses in young soccer players. Twelve players (17.7±0.9 years) were randomly subjected to active, ballistic, passive, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation str...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to compare the acute effects of different stretching methods on maximal force and neuromuscular responses in young soccer players. Twelve players (17.7±0.9 years) were randomly subjected to active, ballistic, passive, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching methods, in addition to a control condition. Before and after 3 sets comprising 30 s stretching intervention, the range of motion, peak force, superimposed twitch, potentiated twitch, percentage of voluntary activation, and root mean square of the electromyography signal normalized by the maximal wave were assessed. The stretching modalities effectively improved the range of motion (1.71 to 2.46cm; P
